Basquiat

Legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat’s significant impact on the history of contemporary art is featured prominently in this book by Rudy Chiappini, published in conjunction with the major retrospective at the Lugano Museum of Modern Art. His brief but intense career—beginning as a street graffiti artist and becoming one of the most influential artists of his time—is shown in great detail through 50 paintings and 20 works on paper drawn from prestigious private collections and museums.
